Analysis

Oil Surges 4.2% as Rates Reprice Higher

Crude at $90.44 (+4.16%) is the dominant macro signal today, threatening to re-inject inflation expectations into a market that had been pricing disinflation. The 10Y yield rose 3bp to 4.66% in sympathy, while the 2s10s spread widened further to 92bp. This stagflationary mix — higher energy costs plus rising term premia — is the worst possible backdrop for duration-sensitive growth assets. Portfolio implication: long-duration tech and crypto face a reflexive headwind if energy sustains above $90.
